No — under Article 25 of Dubai Tenancy Law (Law 33 of 2008), a landlord can only evict mid-contract for specific grounds: non-payment after 30 days' notice, subletting without permission, using the property illegally, or causing damage. Personal reasons such as wanting to sell are not valid grounds until contract expiry with 12 months' written notice.
